Course Description

Course Profile

Physics is one of the most crucial research area in modern science.  Discoveries of new phenomena, deepening of knowledge about the structure of matter and related interactions and understanding the consequences of natural laws and scientific theories lead to changes in the world around us.

Physics brings together advanced experiments, computations, and theoretical considerations to describe what is unknown. Experiments are carried out on highly sophisticated facilities/equipment, often as part of international collaborations. Developments in physics result in new technologies that are extensively used in a wide range of industries, including the health and environmental sectors. The computational aspects use machine learning and other advanced techniques in data science. Theoretical physics aims to predict physical systems’ behavior and interpret the experimental results in terms of mathematical models of the physical world’s structure and evolution.

The Physics Master’s degree program is closely related to the A. Chełkowski Institute of Physics’ scientific activities. Students will participate in the Institute’s activities, including regular seminars, colloquia, and workshops involving physicists worldwide. Students will also be involved in a research-level project as part of their dissertation.  The study programme and scientific research will be carried out at the Chorzow campus of the Silesian University and partly within the framework of activities based on cooperation between the Institute of Physics and many prestigious institutions worldwide.

This programme provides exposure to frontier physics activities and develops general transferable skills related to data analysis, research, and communication. The programme leads to careers in research, teaching, and industry and develops very valued computing skills.

The education in Physics at the second-degree level (2-year master’s studies) is realised in English in two majors: Fundamental and applied physics and Nanophysics and mesoscopic materials – modelling and application (Polish-French studies).

Education Requirements

Essential documents required from candidates for studies:

1. A Bachelor's, Engineer’s or Master’s degree diploma, including the supplement with grades (document that entitles candidate to start studying at graduate level in the country where the document was issued). Document issued abroad must be legalized or possess an apostille stamp.

2. A confirmation that diploma issued abroad entitles the owner to apply for graduate programmes in the country where it was issued – in justified cases.

In case of documents issued in language other than Polish and English – certified translation into Polish made by a court translator from the official list of the Polish Ministry of Justice.

Other Requirements

Graduates who have received a Bachelor's, Engineer’s, Master's or equivalent degree in a study programme assigned to a field of exact and natural sciences or one assigned to a field of engineering and technology may apply for admission.

The qualification criterion shall be a competition of final grades on the graduation diplomas.

In the case of graduates of other study programmes than those mentioned above or graduates from other universities, if the analysis of the 1st cycle studies reveals differences in the study programme and/or learning outcomes, the student shall be obliged to do remedial (paid) classes within the deadline set by the Dean of the Faculty.

Detailed qualification criteria will be available in the Online Candidate Registration System (https://irk2.us.edu.pl/en-gb/) – please check them before applying. Application starts on June 3rd, 2024.
